technically - your e-bay level ;)
colour scheme though... that green just doesn't work with the rest of the mini.

Well, I thought this was good for a change, we usually see it in blue or something like that which is a bit repetitive so having it in green is cool imo. Then, perhaps in red it would hve work aswell :)

Probably the green doesn't go well with the rest of the mini, but I like it. And I think the target audience also likes this. How are eBay sales in general these days?

I must say I like those green spirits :)
Also the base is done very well!

thanks for all the comments guys
yeah I'm not all that keen on the green either but I did try and do it in red first and that was a total failure so I ended up just doing this fluro green style which I thought would be eye catching for buyers ;)
Corvus: the ebay seems ok at the moment I'm selling every thing :D but I buy second hand minis very cheap and sell them at a reasonable price so I think that is helping

I don't think the green is wrong persay, but I do think that the skin of the wolf hide is very red and so you get the uncomfortable christmas contrast going on.

hides of that type would be more tan (tanning being a process the hide goes through for preservation) and as such more neutral

I have yet to find a style I like for painting fur, but I think more colour in the fur would provide a subtle counterpoint to the startling green on the reverse view
